i wonder if this is what the GOP needs to pivot away from the moron

i can see his poll numbers collapsing in the next few days and that will make every rethug senator and congressman worry about a rout in november

maybe,just maybe the GOP will start to think about the country and their future instead of showing blind obedience to the moron

Who would inherit the rubber stamp.

They stick with him because of his base. Lose Trump, you stand to lose the base, and it's game over GOP.

white voters.
This could turn out to be a real boon for them. Especially since when the panic is at it's peak in November, Trump will cancel the election, since obviously there will be crowds, long lines, and you have to touch the voting machine after hundreds of others have already touched it.

Trump CARES ABOUT US! He's simply going to protect us from ourselves.

I was on a cruise in September and at one of the ports in the Canary Island I talked with this Indian couple selling souvenirs. They did their informal surveys and said that 2 out of 5 cruise passengers they met were die hard mf45 supporters. This particular cruise line was Oceania and no one appeared to have money problems.

Ultra conservative courts, environmental protections destroyed, tax cuts for the rich, etc etc. Why would they pivot?

He has something on each of them or has threatened them with retaliation if they speak against him. They saw what he has done to Romney. Plus his supporters are so brainwashed they will die of the” hoax” Coronavirus while on their deathbeds praising mf45’s response and blame it on President Obama.

All they have to do is stay on TV spewing what their masses hear on Fox News and talk radio.

Both think that only already weak or old people are at risk.

Both were 30ish at most.

I really didn't push it and moved on.

Good luck!

What oh what will all the side effects be from this HELL?

He gets a pass, even if the evidence points at him as ineptly handling the entire matter. They don't care. They'll say, "he didn't cause the virus. He didn't infect all those people himself. He did everything he could. Hannity told us that it was Obama's administration that scuttled the pandemic task force, and that's all I needed to hear."

When your world view comes from a singular source and that source deflects the truth, you will never find the truth...because you don't want to. You want the comfort of your twisted and myopic beliefs.
